Navy Crew Defeats Britons by
Half Length, in World's Record Time
Annapolis Men
Set Record in
Olympic Victory

slowiy on the British eight, and it was
only a case of whether the race would ;
he leng enough for them to win.
With a scant 150 yards left the ?
Americans came up on even terms with ;
their opponents, and though the Brit- :
i$h fought gp.mcly it was clear then !
that nothing could hold the midship- j
mcn. inch by inch they slipped past
the famous Leander crew, until they
were nearly a half length ahead as
they flashed in front of the judges.
Americans Win Three Races
The Navy's victory was a tilting cli?
max to a day of successes for the
United States, only the Pennsylvania ?
barge failing its supporters. Wo had
four entries in the finals, and three
won, while the Pennsylvania barge fin?
ished second to the Swiss. No other
country had more than one winner.
Jack Kelly, of the Vesper Club,
Philadelphia, had a double success, win?
ning the double scull race with his
cousin, Costello, also' of Philadelphia,
and winning the singles after a fierce!
battle with John Beresford jr., winner,
of the Diamond Sculls at the Henley !
regatta.
Kelly's margin of victory was a '
?cant uoat length after rowing second i
for the first mile. Through the last I
quarter it still seemed either man's '
race. The American said after the
race t'-at it was a harder battle than
he ha I yesterday with Hatfteld, the
New Zoalander.
Beresfcrd was in great distress after
the event, but Kelly came out only an
hour later and with Costello rowed to ?
an easy victory over the French and
Italians.
Heavy Backing for Kelly
The Midshipmen backed Kelly so
heavily that a 6-franc ticket paid only
75 centimes.
Still wearing his rowing togs, Jack
stood on The bank and led the cheer?
ing for the Annapolis men as they
came down the final stretch of water.
Later . he and Costello, with Brand
Whltlock, United States Ambassador to !
Belgium, posed with the Navy crew for j
the photographers.
Italy, France and Switzerland were
rowing abreast at fifty yards from the !
finish in the doubles with coxwain, but
the Italians had the greatest amount of
reservo strength and managed to pass
the mark a boat's length in front of
the French, who had stopped rowing
before the end was reached because of
the terri lie pace.
The Swiss also collapsed before the :
finish.
With the exception of the American
victory in the doubles, every race
proved a thriller and the greatest
crowd which attended any Olympic '
gport was present.
America has now won the champion?
ship in 'track and field, swimming, ;
boxing, catch-as-catch-can wrestling,
shooting and rowing.

U. S. Athletes Score
Heavily in Games
Held at Colombes
COLOMBES, France, Aug. 29 (By The
Associated PressL.The United States
again to-day carried away first honors
in a monster athletic meet organized
by the Union of Sporting Federations
of Franco. The event had been widely
advertised in tho French newspapers
during the last week as "a revenge for
tho Antwerp Olympic'games."
The American team scored a total of
ir,-l points; Sweden, 128, and France,
78.
Notwithstanding tho cool and dis?
agreeable weather some 25,000 persons
gathered in tho stadium to watch the
athletes. A strong wind blowing
across the field made fast timo by the
distance runners impossible. France
in the long runs was handicapped by
the absence of her star performer,
Guillemot, who is still lame.
Gaston -Vidal, deputy president of
the Union of Sporting Federations, said
to-day that France would make a
strong bid for tho Olympic games of
1924.
"If wo can gather 25,000 spectators
together after a hurried four or fivo
day organization one may imagine how ?
many persons would turn out and what
a success real Olympic games would
achieve if held in Paris in 1924, with i
lie French people prepared for them ai

Putting Will Likely Decide
Amateur Golf Championship
Fellow Doing Best Work
on Greens Should Come
Close to Landing Title
By Ray McCarthy
The fellow who sinks his putts con- '
slstently in the national amateur j
championship next week is the one
who is going to carry off the cham?
pionship. This is no prophecy, much ?
less a guess of ouija's. It's simply a
tnere statement of fact, as true an
axiom as there is in the game of golf.
The title, wo acain repeat, will be de?
termined on the greens just as most
other championships have been de?
cided.
Boor putting cost Harry Vardon the
?tie at Inverness recently. Had the
veteran Briton sank one-half of the
easy tans he flubbed ho would have j
romped home. Leo Diegel didn't win j
out because his aim on the greens was
crooked. Jock Hutchinson made a lot i
of easy ones close, but a miss is as
grood as a mile in any game, and !
nearly" isn't in.
Jack Burke can figure he, too, lost ;
out because of misguided putts. Ray.
a beautiful putter, banged the back of
the cup and got most of his. Ray
was the winner, whereas had one of
the four others, playing as well if not
?etter in the other departments than
'he burly Britisher, dropped two of the
cne thousand and one chances he had
on the green he would have been out
"i front.
A dub or a star can hook his drive
t? a trap and he has still a chance of
recovering and maintaining a good
?core. He can slam an iron shot to the
rough or to a hunker; he mav top his
brassie and still he may keep pace with
the leader But nobody, not even King
Solomon himself, can or could ever re?
cover a fl ?bbed putt. A missed putt re?
mains a missed putt, and all the fine
wives and all the great iron shots can't
fc^fee it good.
? was astonighing the number of
easy putts that were gummed un in the j
national open play at Toledo. "We can
see them all now, first one and then |
another, falling down on a two-foot roll j
that ordinarily could be wished in. On ?
the first two rounds we accompanied \
the former champion, Walter Hagen. j
Walter, can lay the whole blame to his
putting. 'Tis true he roamed off the
course frecuiently, but in most cases he
reached the green without any extra
strokes, and had he made good on half
of his chances on the greens he would
have kept his title.
Ted Ray missed them as well as the \
others, but the point is that ho didn't
miss as marly. On his second round
he took three putts on the eighteenth
green?remarkable, to say the least, for
11 im.
The reason?if we analyze it correct?
ly everybody was on edge. In fact,
each fellow was so much at attention
he was getting away from his natural
stride this includes Vardon and Ray
- and the result was pinched putts in
many cases. To make a putt from a
distance of twenty feet one must give
the ball a chance. No more so than
from a point three feet distant. In most
cases these easy putts were missed be?
cause they were tapped too lightly and
curled up before they reached the cup.
Of the five expected to set the pace
in next week's maelstrom- Herr?n,
Ouimet, Jones, Evans and Gardner?the
first two are by far the bettor putters.
Reasoning thus they ought to be the
finalists. Well they might, but, of
course, that doesn't necessarily follow,
particularly if either Herron or Oui?
met is on his game.
Jerry Travers is an excellent putter,
but he hasn't the stamina he used to
have nor is his game so far as driving
and iron play is concerned as good as it
used to i*e. Still, if Jerry can stand
the grind he will be heard from.
Jones, Evans and Gardner, all grand
players, will have to get down those
putts which seem so inconsequent at
the time but which count mightily in
the long run. It will be interesting to
watch this angle of the game next week.
Title Tourney
Starts To-day
At Forest Hills
Johnston, Tilden, Richards
and Williams Strong Con?
tenders for Tennis Title
By Fred Hawthorne
The grand finale of the lawn tennis
season in this country begins at 1
o'clock this afternoon, when the men's
annual national singles championship
tournament start3 on tho turf courts
of the West Side Tennis Club at For?
est Hillt:.
The eyes of tho tennis players and
followers of the game will be centered
on two men this week, William M.
Johnston, of California, tho present
national champion, and William T:
Tilden 2d, of Philadelphia, the world's
?champion.
It is the prevailing opinion among
the majority of those who follow the
game closely that cither one of theso
players will come through the great
field of 128 that will begin the gruel?
ing struggle for the title now held by
little Johnston, and that Tilden and
the national champion are almost in a
class by themselves among the players
of the world.
Others Have Chance
While I believe that these two men
should bo the outstanding contenders
by reason of past performances, I have
a more or less settled conviction that
there are one or two others in the field
who must be given serious considera?
tion.
Tilden won the so-called "world's
singles championship" on grass at
Wimbledon this summer, a truly
notable performance when the high and
representative quality of the field is
taken into account. Here were gath?
ered the greatest players in all the
world?Johnston, Norris, Williams, J.
Cecil Parke, Zenso Shimldzu, Gobert,
Deargis an?! Gerald Patterson, of Aus?
tralia, the defending world's champion.
Williams went out early in the fray;
Johnston, America's greatest hope, was
downed by the mighty veteran Parke,
who, in turn, was humbled by Tilden,
as was Shmidzu, the great little Jap?
anese, until finally Tilden faced Pat?
terson in the challenge round and de?
feated hir? with ease.
Before the tournament Johnston had
beaten Tilden in the final round of I
the London championship at the
Queen's Club, and later, at Norwood, j
Johnston vanquished Parke in the semi- j
final round, only to yield to Williams !
in the final brackets.
Tilden has played no tournament !
singles since his return to this country, j
about three weeks ago. In the doubles, '
paired with Charles S. Garland, of ,
Pittsburgh, he has not been very sue- '
cessful. After winning at Newport Til- ?
den and Garland were defeated in the j
semi-final round of the national ;
doubles championship at Longwood by !
Willis Davis and Roland Roberts, and j
last Saturday, at Southampton, were j
beaten in five furious sets by young!
Vincent Richards and Ralph Burdiek, a !
scrub combination thptUP had never !
played as a team beforelast week.
It is true that the fault for these de?
feats rested almost wholly upon Gar- !
land, whose work failed to measure up
to Davis Cup standards, but even so, |
Tilden's tennis has not been so con- :
vincing as we have a right to expect. ?
from a man of his tremendous capa- ?
bilitles.
Garland at Fault
The luck of the draw has placed Til- i
den in the easy half. He will not be
beset by nearly as many pitfalls as
will fall to Johnston's lot in the second
quarter. Vincent Richards, the seven- !
teen-year-old winner of the singles and .
doubles at the Meadow Club's South?
ampton tournament on Saturday, and
Roland Roberts are the only opponents
Tilden has to fear on his way to the
final round.
And it is this same Richards whom I
regard as one of the real contenders
for the championship of 1920.
This amazing young player gave '
proof at Southampton last week, if any .
were needed, that he must be seriously
considered in any,company. It had;
been thought, until the final round of i
the Meadow Club doubles match, that
Richards could not stand up under ex- '
treme speed and hard hitting. Rich- :
ards exploded that theory by the cool,
efficient way in which he handled Til- ,
den's terrific "bullet" servie?.
This prodigy of American tennis,
after a period of comparative mediocre
success last season, followed by several
months' absence from tournament play
this summer, during which time he was '?
developing strength and putting on
weight on nn Iowa farm, has come back
to the game with added confidence and ;
a new ambition, and he must not be
taken lightly by any other man in the
great tourney that begins to-day.
Johnston Faces Task
Johnston has a mighty task on his
hands if he is to shoulder his way
through the stalwart opposition that;
blocks his path to the final bracket.
Rarely has a champion faced so many I
dangerous seekers after his laurels.
In this second quarter are, besides
the little champion, Williams, Davis
and Griffin, a mighty host. Even
supposing Johnston were to fight
his way through the ranks of. these
rivals, would not the racking strain on
nerves and physical stamina have him
in poor shape for his supreme test in
the final round?
Much depends upon Johnston's con?
dition when he starts the long strug- ,
gle this afternoon.
When I saw Johnston at Longwood,
just after he had won the national
doubles title with Clarence J. Grif?
fin, he told me that he would not go
to Southampton because he believed he
was just about in his best physical
condition then.
"I feel," said the champion, "that I
can play perfect \ennis, that is, as per?
fect as I ever can play it, at any time
I am called upon now, so what is the
use of going to Southampton and play- '
ing through the week? I can go down j
to Forest Hills and fool around there
just enough to keep on edge, and I
want to see two or three shows in New
York."
Tnat is a comfortable way for a !
champion about to defend his title, to !
feel, and, having seen Johnston's flaw
lesa tennis when he and Griffin won ?
the doubles title that day, I could not
but completely agree with him.
Johnston is certain to make a mighty
bid to retain his championship, and he
is particularly keen to win again this ?
year. In view of his past performances
and his indomitable fighting spirit in
a match, I am-inclined to regard him j
as the most probable choice when we I
consider any one man's chances against
the field.
Williams, I happen to know, is pre?
pared to make his supreme effort to j
dethrone Johnston this week. The for- I
mer title holder's record last year and '

IN ALL FAIRNESS!
By W. O. M'GEEHAN
AT THE current writing it seems that there will be no strike of
baseball playera to bring about a boycott, of Carl Mays. The St.
Louis Browns reversed their decision in this regard. Moreover,
the?president of the American League finally warned the players not to
strike, and has indicated that insubordinate players will be severely dealt
with. It would have been much better if the president of the American
League .had done this earlier and publicly. He has taken quick and
spectacular action on cases of much less importance.
While there will bo no strike, the fact that there was talk of a strike,
even to the extent of circulation of petitions against Mays, does not
speak well for the sportsmanship of the baseball players involved in the
plot to persecute a fellow player who was both unfortunate and un?
popular. There were two v?ctima in big league baseball's first tragedy.
One was Ray Chapman, who was killed. The other is Carl Mays, whose
misfortune it was to throw the ball that sent him to his death. Mays
needed the sympathy of his fellow players. Such an accident might hup?
pen to the most popular of pitchers at any time.
But Mays happened to be unpopular with certain players and cer?
tain magnates, and the whispering and the conspiring started and grew.
Had it been any other pitcher in the league I am quite certain that he
would have been cleared by the head of the league the moment the
whispering started. By not extending immediately to Mays the sympathy
he would have .extended to any other player, it is my opinion that the
president of the league lest a chance to shew real bigness. By joining in
such a campaign as the one attempted against Mays certain players laid
their game open to the charge of lack of sportsmanship.
The fans decided, and the fans vindicated Mays. These same fans
will pass judgment upon the players who advocated the boycott and upon
the official who was tardy when the game's reputation for sportsmanship
and even ordinary charity was being threatened by peevish and thought?
less players.
The Pennant Race ?
THHE baseball prophets are beginning to get the ague as the pennant
races veer into the month of September. The National League race
makes a prophet look like a chameleon from day to day. In the Ameri?
can League the Yanks are constantly getting up at the count of "nine'
and making it look like hard work for the White Sox.. In the National
League the Giants, the Dodgers and the Reds are making their various
backers feverish.
It must be the closeness of the races that makes the bug go mad anc
the players froth at the mouth. There Is truculence In the field, trucu?
lence in the stavids and truculence wherever the national pastime is dis
cussed. Also there is some reckless betting. Anything may happen nexi
month.
Some students are willing to concede the American League race t<
the Chicago White Sox even at this early stage. The Yanks have showr
streaks of cohesion and power and then they slump. But just when the:
are being swept out of the arena they get up and play baseball again
By consistent playing they still would have a great chance for the Ameri
can League pennant, but if they were consistent they wouldn't be th?
Yanks. Cleveland made a gallant fight under the leadership of Tri:
Speaker, one. of the greatest managers and players of the game, but th?
death of Chapman and its effect upon the team have practically put th'
Indians out of the race. The traditional hard luck of Cleveland hi
harder this year than ev?r before.
With the Giants thumping the Reds on their own home lot and th<
marvelous Brooklyn Dodgers, or, rather, the Marvelous and Mountainou
Wilbert Robinson, battling valiantly, it is all too early for the bugs i>
this vicinity to give up hope of seeing part of a world's series. Ne-\
York still has three teams within striking distance of a flag.
The Boxing Season
'T'HE new Boxing Commission has announced that it "will use all due de
liberation in the matter of initiating the season under the Walke
boxing law. Nobody can blame the commission for acting cautiously
The members will be blamed if professional boxing falls back into th
same old rut.
Before the lav- has gone into operation it seems that the promotei
are ready to lock horns over the services of certain boxers. The ne'
commission will be sitting as a court right at the start, according to th
preliminary squawks. Rival promoters are waving contracts and tel<
grams in one another's faces and are ready to pass about the lie wit
the recklessness of promoters. There will be enough of these cases i
make the new commissioners weary of the job in a few days unless th
promoters have the good sense to show some consideration for one ai
other's rights.
I hear that the National Guard of this city is going in for the prt
motion of professional boxing bouts as an adjunct to their recruitin
service. The holding of bouts in the armories, with free seats for tl
members of the regiments occupying them, is advocated as a means (
filling up the ranks, nearly all of the regiments being far below the
strength at present. That would make the competition in boxing pr<
motion fairly keen.
* Easy for Dempsey
XJEPORTS from the vicinity of Benton Harbor, Mich., where the Dem
sey-Miske bout will be held, are to the effect that Dempsey seems i
be in about as good condition as he was when he won the championshi
if this is true the bout will be no contest at all. Miske at his best nevi
would be a match for Dempsey at his best, and Miske has passed throuf
a long period of sickness, which is hardly the best preparation for mee
mg ihe hardest hitter in the game.
Finding opponents for Dempsey seems to be something of a pro
lern. Eventually they will do it._ They found opponents for a long li
of hoavyweigh'; ch.umpions that were once invincible, Sullivan, Jeffrie
Johnson and Willard. They will find one for Dempsey in time, but th
time still seems far off.
Ai a matter of fact, Rickard's plan to rematch Willard and Demps'
is not so vain and visionary as it might seem. If Willard had not been
idiotically self-conf.dent he might have had a chance. I say might. Ev<
now he might givr. Dempsey more of an argument than Miske or B
Brennan.
Professional Foot Racing
HPHERE is some talk of professional running races in New York folio
ing the Olympic games. Some of the American athletes are bei
talked into becoming professionals and some of the foreign athletes a
ready to hear the jingle of the American dollar. Madison Square Gj
den will be the scene of the professional races, I am told.
The Marathon racing bug hit the country some time back, wh
some of the best known winners of this event in the Olympic gan
turned professional and want out for the money. But there has r
been the same interest in the current Olympic games, and it would
something of a gamble to try professional foot racing here. Moreov
professional foot racing in the past was notorious for its crookedne
"As crooked as foot racing" used to be the last word.
Still, turning professional is nothing disgraceful, and professioi
foot racing, properly promoted, might be kept clean and made interestii
this does not indicate that he will be j
able to gain his goal, yet Williams is
always dangerous, always a possibility,
ard I believe that this year's champion?
ship will be carried off by one of these
four men- Johnston, Tilden, Richards
or Williams.
Several of the players were at the
West Side Tennis Club yesterday, put?
ting on the finishing touches to their
work and trying out the turf, which is
in splendid condition. Harry Parker,
treasurer, announced last night that
there are about 2,500 reserved seats
left, in addition to about 4,000 for the
standing room stands. Seats will be on
sale daily at the grounds.

Yachts End Long Cruise
Shortly before darkness fell over
Little ?eck Bay last evening the
yachts that sailed in the annual four
day cruise of the Bayside Yacht Club
dropped anchors, and after a cruise
dinner was served in the clubhouse
it went down in the archives of
the club as one of the most successful
ever held in the history of the o-gani
zation. The yachts left Cold Spring
Harbor at 10 o'clock yesterday morn?

Cooper's Bluff, where a ?wini was
enjoyed.
W. L. Inslee Victorious
In Star Class Race
-,
PORT- WASHINGTON, L. I.. Aug.:
29.?W. L. Inslee won the ninth of a
series of ten races for the interclub j
championship of Class A in the star
class over the course of the Port Wash- j
ington Yacht Club in Manhasset Bay !
this afternoon. By winning the race
Mr. Inslee assumed the lead in the
aeries.
The race to-day was started in the
face of a light northeast breeze which
freshened up somewhat as the race
progressed. Mr. Inslee did not have
an easy task in winning. F. W. Teves,
who has been sailing prominently in
the fore among yachts of the star class
the last few weeks, forced Mr. Inslee
to employ all of his knowledge of the

Holland's Star
Cyclist Defeated
By Art Spencer
Moeskops, Conqueror of F.
Kramer, Loses in Straight
Heats at Newark Track
Arthur Spencer, tho best of Amer?
ican sprinters, proved too much for
Pete Moeskops, the champion of Hol?
land, at the Velodrome in Newark yes?
terday afternoon. Spencer defeated
the big Dutchman in two straight heats
of a one-mile match. Moeskops had a
fall in warming up before the race
started, which might have affected him
some, but tHe consensus of opinion
among the fans is that Spencer is the
faster man.
In the first heat Spencer hopped
around Moeskops a lap and one half
from homo and was never headed.
Moeskops had a try going down the
backstretch, but could not get around
Spencer and finished a length in the
rear. The last eighth-mile was rid?
den in 12 1-5 seconds.
Spencer waited until three-quarters
of a lap from the finish in the second
before he jumped Moeskops, and led
him home by more than a length. The
time for the last eighth-mile in this
heat was 12 seconds flat.
Alfred Grenda won tho fifteen-mile
open, which was one of the most gruel?
ing races ever ridden at the Newark
track. The pace was so hot that such
stars as Kramer, Eaton and Mocskops
were forced to quit. Oscar Egg fin?
ished second, beating Jake Magin.
Alex McBeath, Cecil Walker, Lloyd
Thomas and Peter Drobach.
Tom Bello, of Brooklyn, copped the
two-thirds-mile handicap from Eddie
Madden, Alfons Verraes and Percy
Lawrence. Gus Lang just beat out Ed
Byron and Willie Hanley in the miss-,
and-out invitation. Mike De Orio, of
the Unione Sportiva Italiana, won the
half-mile amateur handicap.
Clarence -Rinker, a Newark boy, took
a nasty spill in a one-mile consolation
amateur race, landing on his head. He
was rendered unconscious and removed
to the Newark City Hospital.
